Ahmedabad, October 23: Gujarat’s ruling BJP has lodged a complaint with the Election Commission seeking to bar ousted Vice-Chancellor of Darul Uloom Deoband, Maulana Ghulam Mohammad Vastanvi from entering the state following his allegedly provocative utterances against Chief Minister Narendra Modi.

Vastanvi was removed from the post of vice-chancellor of Darul Uloom Deoband, the second largest Islamic seminary in the world, for praising Modi’s development policy in January 2011.

BJP’s media cell convenor Jagdish Bhavsar said, “The statements made by Vastanvi, during a Congress party minority cell programme in Surat, are provocative and harmful to the state’s peaceful atmosphere. We have complained to the Election Commission to bar Vastanvi from entering Gujarat.”

“Maulana Vastanvi has used the platform of Congress party to incite communal passions among various communities and tried to create a rift in state’s communal amity,” Bhavsar added.

“Vastanvi’s utterance of wrongful words against Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi is a violation of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC),” Bhavsar said, adding the Surat BJP unit has demanded his arrest and strict action.

BJP national vice-president Purushottam Rupala said the use of words zalim (tyrant) against Modi and asking Muslims to vote for Congress is a violation of MCC. The Election Commission should take strict action against him for using such words.”

Addressing a public rally organised by the minority cell of Congress at Tarkeshwar in Mandvi sub-division of Surat district on Monday, Vastanvi had said it was a crime to praise a zalim(tyrant) and that he never praised Modi.

“To praise a zalim (tyrant) is a crime. I never praised Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi,” Vastanvi said.

Centre asks states to allow hospitalised covid patients use smartphones to interact with kin

Agencies

August 2,2020

New Delhi, Aug 2: The Centre has written to all states and Union Territories stating that smartphones and tablet devices should be allowed for hospitalised Covid-19 patients so that they can interact with family and friends through video conferencing, which would provide them psychological support.

Though mobile phones are allowed in hospital wards, the missive was issued following some representation from the kin of patients alleging otherwise.

Director-General of Health Services (DGHS) in the Health Ministry Dr Rajiv Garg in the letter to the principal secretaries of health and medical education of states and Union territories said appropriate protocols for disinfecting devices and allotting timeslots can be developed by the hospital concerned to facilitate contact between patients and their family.

He underlined that administrative and medical teams should be responsive to the psychological needs of patients admitted in Covid-19 wards and ICUs of various hospitals.

"Social connection can calm down patients and also reinforce the psychological support given by the treating team. Please instruct all concerned that they should allow smartphones and tablet devices in patient areas so that the patient can video conference with their family and friends," stated the letter issued on July 29.

"Though mobile phones are allowed in the wards to enable a patient stay in touch with his or her family, we received representations from the patient families from some states stating mobile phones are not being allowed by hospital administrations because of which they were not being able to stay in contact with the patient," said Dr Garg.
